Lake Oahe Ice Fishing

Thats real Jim Dandy!

Gimme the coordinates! Some of them eyes is pretty tiny tho. Im surprised no pike, what gives? Anyone catching ling?

Coordinates, right!!  This is a classic spot out in the middle of nowhere and you had to fish it when the water was low to really know how good it is. Plus, nobody is there.  I marked the coordinates years back, and knew when the water came up that this spot was going to hold fish.   I have a feeling these fish will be there the rest of the winter. Alot of good real estate to hold them there. 

Yea, there were a couple small walleyes, but none the less, still great fishing.  Keep in mind the big one in the picture above was a 24 incher that we couldn't turn loose.  She took the chubby all the way down to the gills. So the smaller walleyes are going to look just that compared to that football. 

And yea, I thought there was going to be some gators in there, but only caught one small one both days.  Just perch, a few saugers and some nice walleye.  Also, we only fished about 4  hours Saturday afternoon and 3 Sunday morning.  It was fun, but alot of work marching around in that snow and punching holes.
